Team Build: Quietway

    Hi,

    This is now a team composition available for solo play as opposed to the 8 human players requirement before - thanks to the "of the Dervish" mod introduced during the 20th anniversary update. Details below!

    I've tried similar arrangements before, but this one is the most polished version I could make.

    Except for Derv heroes you must mod your Spears with an "of the Dervish" mod to guarantee VoS uptime (which is 11 seconds thanks to the mod + Extend Enchantments). AI doesn't prioritize skills but it does a decent enough job to refresh Extend Enchants + VoS. Your healing should cover the downtime.

    For Dervish heroes Spear mod of Enchanting at 8 Mysticism should do the trick. Except for Xandra the party is pretty tanky sitting on top of nearly 100 AR each.

    The upside is that your party is basically immune to all incoming spells, meaning most of the hate you'll receive is slashed significantly. What can bother you is martial enemies (especially Dervishes in HM) and you are equipped to deal with them using YAW, Displacement and TntF. Condition removal is handled via Recovery.

    I tried various compositions with Rangers included, but they remain too squishy, especially in HM to take care of themselves so this ended up being the final product.

    Enjoy!


    Edit: Overhauled the entire build/first post thanks to the "of the Dervish" mod introduced during the 20th anniversary.

    Nice concept to use the Signets to upkeep healing under Vow of Silence. You have VoS against spells and Blind against martials, but you have nothing against touchers https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Stygian_Hunger ; https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Restless_…e_of_the_North) , since touch skills aren't spells, they go through VoS. The cool part however, is that you can easily slot "Can't Touch This!" to counter those and be immune to even more forms of damage.

    Hi, yes, thank you - I totally forgot to slot in Cant Touch this in the first iteration. Also, thanks to the "of the Dervish mod" on weapons now, I've updated the first post to accomodate a hero friendly version of the build that doesn't require 8 humans players. It's not as strong as 8 humans of course, but at least it makes the concept soloable. Hopefully I'll make a video of it when I have the time to test it :thumbup:

    Edit: I forgot to slot it in in this version too but players can drop one of the Go for the Eyes for Can't Touch This, for what it's worth! :saint:
